Grünkohl


In winter it’s basically a winter custom here in Northern Germany to eat Grünkohl (kale or leaf cabbage). It might have something to do with the fact that kale is harvested after the first autumn frost, which means you get it during the cold seasons on the table. Grandma invited me yesterday because she prepared Grünkohl, Kassler (smoked pork chop) and Kohlwurst (cooked sausage). Together we just call it Grünkohlessen (eating kale). That’s the usual combination and of course you eat it with cooked potatoes or fried potatoes. The good thing is, you can eat it on the second day … Continue reading Grünkohl

Fried Potatoes With Fried Eggs


Here is a photo of fried potatoes with fried eggs. I did probably mention it a tons of times on my blog, but this is one of my favorite dishes. It’s so simple to prepare, even a lazy cook like I am can do it, but that doesn’t mean that it isn’t tasty. I do also like it with fried onions, then it’s extra delicious. Sometimes I also eat it with ketchup, but that totally depends on my mood (laugh). I bet my whole blog is already plastered with fried potato photos. Continue reading Fried Potatoes With Fried Eggs

Tasty Goulash


I visited my mother and her husband yesterday, they were eating and there was still enough leftover and I got a plate too. Of course, when something looks so delicious, I take a photo. I had potatoes, goulash, red cabbage and a tasty sauce on the plate. I’d say this is a very typical German combination. We often eat potatoes, as same as red cabbage and goulash. I am always happy if I can take a photo of tasty looking food, because I am always interested to expand my food category on the blog. Continue reading Tasty Goulash

Potatoes With Cabbage, Sausage And Minced Meat


Talking about classical German dishes, I’d say potatoes with cabbage, sausage and minced meat is definitely on the list. If you would visit a German family for some weeks, the odds are that you will see this dish on the table, especially in the colder seasons. I think this is one of the dishes that we eat very often in the colder seasons, I don’t know why, it’s just something I noticed in my family. Boiled cabbage has one feature, it will remain hot for quite a long time as same as potatoes don’t cool down very fast. I do … Continue reading Potatoes With Cabbage, Sausage And Minced Meat

Mashed Potatoes With Spinach And Fried Eggs


I am pretty much sure I posted photos of this dish quite often on my blog, because it’s one of my favorite dishes. Mashed potatoes with spinach and fried eggs, that is a fairly simple dish, even an untalented cook like me can prepare it. I know a lot of people who use a convenience product, a potato puree powder, you just boil water up, then you mix in the powder and milk. But you can also make it on your own if you have more time, it does even taste better. To fry eggs, that is no rocket science … Continue reading Mashed Potatoes With Spinach And Fried Eggs
